I'm certain that Kimi got 2mil(us) a race in '08 then throw in endorsement deals and hes most likely around 40. And random fact, Shuey became the worlds first sports BILLIONAIRE back in '05.

They talked about Kimi's pay on one of the F1 shows on Speed.

Kimi got a million dollars just for showing up at the location, and his bonuses per race were dependent on the practices, qualifying, and race.

When it settled down, he got about 20 million last year from Ferrari.
